i just read about karma we create in this life-kriyamana karma and karma we have created in other lives-sanchita karma. It seems much more unlikely that we will create very difficult karma for ourselves in this life if we accept and follow the gurus guidance. For the most part we are working out karma from the distant past-kriyamana karma. We can see visible evidence of the Gurus presence when we have called on it and follow it. There is also Prarabdha karma. It is that portion of the past karma which is responsible for the present body we inhabit.

1. Sanchita Karmas are accumulated works

2. Prarabdha Karmas are ripe or fructuous (fructus) actions

3. Kriyamana or Agami Karmas are current works

i have attended services in the presence of Amma and SFR monastics that were helpful and designed to burn off karma. We can also practice techniques that are used to help eliminate our karma so that by the power of these techniques and the Gurus grace we do not have to go thru as much but can travel the path to enlightenment much faster.
